Radar PI replaces GRradar, GXRadar, and BR24 Radar plugins for OpenCPN ver 5.0 and up. This plugin overlays the radar picture on OpenCPN. A versatile plugin that can be easily adapted to most broadband radars. We will leave this documentation in place for about 4 months for users of v4.8.8 and the dedicated Garmin plugin.

Description:
4g radar, if radar A is selected, radar A is seen. If radar A + B is selected, both are seen. IP Addresses can be seen, however the menu panel for Start/Stop and adjustment does not appear on the screen. Maybe it's a problem with opengl? How to fix the problem?
Self-fixed:
The problem was in the wifi network settings. Wifi was in 'private' mode, when changed 'public' mode it works perfectly over wifi.
